联合国第1612号决议要求向安全理事会报告刚果等有关国家严重侵犯儿童权利的年度趋势。2010年5月至8月，我们进行了一次基于人口的三阶段类集调查，以衡量2010年期间南基伍人口中发生的征兵、绑架、杀害和残害以及袭击教育机构的情况。此外，还用半结构式问卷对主要举报人进行了访谈，以检查他们举报在其村庄发生的任何严重侵权行为的能力。调查结果表明，在4471名受访家庭成员中，绑架是最常见的暴力行为，估计每年有5.7%的人口（95%置信区间[CI]：3.9-7.5，设计效应[DE]：4.06）被绑架。据估计，在2010年前6个半月，南基伍省（不包括布卡武和乌维拉市）有44 898名儿童（1.5%）（95%可信区间：23 679 - 66 118，DE：2.90）经历了四种严重侵犯行为之一（招募、绑架、杀害或致残以及袭击教育机构）。大多数侵犯事件是由政府的刚果民主共和国武装部队士兵犯下的。在大多数村庄，如果至少有一个家庭报告说有一名成员受到侵犯，关键举报人报告说，他们的村庄没有发生侵犯行为。这项调查表明，联合国监测和报告机制在南基伍省的完成率不到1%。这些结果要求建立以人口为基础的非联合国非政府权利监测系统，以补充联合国的努力。
UN Resolution 1612 requires that annual tends in the rate of grave violations of children's rights be reported to the Security Council for countries of interest such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. We conducted a population-based three-staged cluster survey from May to August 2010 to measure the occurrence of military recruitment, abduction, killing and maiming, and attacks against education occurring in the population in South Kivu during 2010. In addition, key informants were interviewed with a semi-structured questionnaire to examine their ability to report any of the grave violations perpetrated in their village. The findings indicated that among the 4471 members of respondent households, abduction was the most frequently reported violation and it is estimated that 5.7% of the population (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.9–7.5, design effect [DE]: 4.06) were abducted annually. It is estimated that 44,898 children (1.5%) (95% CI: 23,679–66,118, DE: 2.90) throughout South Kivu Province (excluding the cities of Bukavu and Uvira) experienced one of the four grave violations (recruitment, abduction, killing or maiming, and attacks against education) in the first 6.5 months of 2010. The majority of all violation episodes were perpetrated by government Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo soldiers. In the majority of villages where at least one household reported a member experiencing a violation, the key informants reported that no violations had occurred in their village. This survey suggests the UN's Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism was less than 1% complete in South Kivu. These results beckon population-based non-UN, nongovernmental rights monitoring systems be developed to complement the UN effort.
